Can someone help me?
I would put a puts there where itâs failing or add a rescue to the thing thatâs calling php serialize.
But if all of those pms are failing, then maybe the pm importer is just broken for your version of Xenforo. So you might need to look at the query itâs doing.
Thatâs about all I can suggest without diving into your database and the code.

Maybe someone will need it in the future.
My modified importer with repaired attachments, avatars, likes (reactions in new xenforo) and still broken pms (bcs i dont need it).

I tried a rewrite to make the links of xenforo not unusable, here is the result.
To write a permanent rewrite i used the following help: Set up Letâs Encrypt with multiple domains / redirects as well as that of @pfaffman
hooks:
...
after_ssl:
- replace:
filename: "/etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf"
from: /#\s*auth_basic_user_file\s*.*;/
to: |
# auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/htpasswd;
location /threads/ {
rewrite ^/threads/(.*)\.\d+/?$ /t/$1 permanent;
}
So you have some Xenforo plugin that makes your URLs look like something other than threads/#{m["topic_id"]}?
What you really want (or wanted) to do was modify this:
to create the permalink that includes your slug (if thatâs what you have) rather than (or maybe in addition to) the Xenforo topic_id

Sorry but I canât quite follow you right now, xenforoâs urls look like this:
https://TDL/threads/THREADNAME.THREADID
and then I let the rewrite forward it to the url of discourse:
https://TDL/t/THREADNAME
I have now tried this with more than a dozen links and it always works without any problems.
I donât understand the mapping part, what does that do?
I am interested in links that have been posted on other websites and when the visitor now comes to the forum no 404 is displayed.
What I also didnât quite understand when importing, why are categories from the 3rd level onwards converted into tags and not further subcategories created?
If the incoming links have the thread id in them then you just need to fix the permalink_normalization setting.
Discourse has only two levels of categories (actually thatâs only sort of true now), so the script uses tags to the sub sub categories.
but the id from the import is different from the id before
If you try /threads/OLD-THREAD-ID youâll end up at the correct topic.
If you loook at /admin/customize/permalinks youâlll see that there are permalinks for all of them that redirect to the proper topic. But since I understood you to say that your old URLs didnât have a topic ID in them I helped you with your desired solution instead of the right one.
Anyway, youâve got the solution you wanted.
then iâll have to look at it again, because it didnât really work at the beginning.
thanks for the explanation
It is quite confusing, and figuring out the permalink_normalization is especially hard to make sense of.

if i make a second import, is it a delta that is imported or are the threads then duplicated?
If you run the script again it will import only things that have not been imported already. If you have a newer database with new users and posts, this is great. If youâve modified the script so that it will do something different when it imports the users and posts, it means that you need to wipe everrything and start from an empty site.

The following error then occurred during the delta import:
